Pretenders They're in my way The kind that fake every path They latch onto anything critiqued cool Attach themselves to fame that's passed It's a drag every time I see you Your weak stale words that you spew wide Aping flair with all your hijacked ideas Not a single thought that rings inside

I wasted all your mind inside mine I wasted all my time inside mine I got love if I choose to use it I got time but just abuse it Stuck lame in futile confusion I sit wasted in this delusion We wasted all our time inside mine We wasted all our time inside mine I wasted all your mind inside mine You wasted all your time Well that ain't mine I got love but I don't deserve it I got time but all I do is blow it Stuck lame in futile confusion I sit wasted in our delusion I got love if I choose to own it I got time but I just abuse it Stuck watching futile confusion As you waste away in delusion I got love if I choose to use it I got time but I just abuse it Stuck lame in futile confusion I sit wasted in this delusion I got love if I choose to use it I got time but I just abuse it Stuck lame in futile confusion I sit wasted in this delusion

TESS Went walking in the sun Felt all the rainfall And you try to make friends but you've met them all already anyway The sky was all diseased You wanna lie down and go to sleep Yeah go to sleep Went dying on the moon Felt empty and unfulfilled Just said "whatever man I didn't feel a thing" "I didn't feel a thing" Have no future but it was all in your hands The sky was all diseased You wanna lie down and go to sleep You wanna lie down and go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Went walking in the sun Felt all the rainfall And you try to make friends but you've met them all already anyway The sky was all diseased You wanna lie down and go to sleep You wanna lie down and go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep You wanna lie down and go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep STAN Slow Always the same Everytime Spit your word mouth games It's almost in rhyme You're right on the beat Never disappoint Painting obsolete I fall away

You know we're glad you could make it Please take a place Let me explain it The same only it comes to It all turns into pieces without you Move in We want you to All aboard Where are we going now? A long way ahead but it'll change it all Just like before Keep on keeping on We'll make it out We'll make it out We'll make it out We'll make it out

The midnight sun is setting on the TV screen And the satellites keep sending out the silent beams And there's a war raging in the street Yeah there's a war raging in the street The summer clouds are reflecting in the wet concrete And the mission bells keep ringing from inside your dream And there's a war raging in the street Yeah there's a war raging in the street The radio keeps pouring out an endless stream And the summer rain is washing off your dirty feet And there's a war raging in the street Yeah there's a war raging in the street
6.
Falling on self prescribed advice Sinking slowly but I feel alright Undone every scene by my own hand But from what I can glean it won't be so bad Asinine or exemplary fate? Soon to discover in the process we are late You are on a mission not my own And by my solution Left alone Leave this tired state in my new ride A spaceship built on borrowed time And if you change your mind you're welcome to join Come and live in the dreams of an ageing boy You always make me smile Yeah you always make me smile But you always make me smile Yeah you always make me smile But you always make me smile Yeah you always make me smile But you always make me smile You know you always make me smile

about

Friends In Noise, a new album of collaborations between Black Market Karma and friends: The Underground Youth, Les Big Byrd / Joakim Ahlund, Tess Parks, The Confederate Dead & Ruari Meehan. Here's a bit about the album and it's inception from Stan

"Friends In Noise is a record of collaborations that came to life in a pretty hands-off way, at least for the most part. I never set out to make this album, as in it wasn't something pre-meditated but through my travels with BMK, meeting and becoming friends with many great musicians, it was always inevitable.

It can be traced back as early as 2011, making up music on the fly in the studio with a close and old friend, Ruari Meehan. This groove came together and we recorded a VERY rough take of it with one mic in the middle of the room. Two guitar lines and no vocal melody or lyrics. I always felt there was really something there with that track but it ended up being shelved for years.

Jump to 2013 when I met Joakim Ahlund at a show his band mate Frans Johansson had organised for us in Stockholm. A few months later we toured around Ireland with their group Les Big Byrd, becoming good friends. Upon the release of our 5th album Jocke got in touch with me about the idea of remixing it's opening track 'Heady Ideas'
I loved what he did and decided to do my own remix of their song 'War In The Streets' in return.

The next stage of this thing happened when Tess Parks reached out about our music and told us she was coming to play in the UK. We organised a tour together and became friends (there's a theme here)
We often went to the studio to hang out in our down time between shows and ended up writing and recording some songs together, 'Sky Was All Diseased' being the track that made it onto Friends In Noise.

By this point I had 3 finished collaborations and decided to try and turn it into a full record, starting with the task of finishing that first song with Ruari. A melody and lyrics finally came to me and we got together to do a proper studio recording of 'Aping Flair'

The last piece came via two friends I'd known for a long time. Craig Dyer of The Underground Youth and Butchy Davy of The Confederate Dead. Craig and I had briefly mentioned the idea of making some music together in the past but it never came to be. He lives in Berlin so I contacted him and we made managed to make 'Wonky' happen over the web. Lastly Butchy came to the BMK studio with an unfinished, instrumental demo and we worked on it together. The result was Ageing Boy.

So in summary, Friends In Noise has technically been 9 years in the making and it feels pretty special to finally have it here"
